me and my wife talk about this sometime. if something would happen to her if i would get remarried, she said if something happen to me she wouldnt she thinks no other men would want her because of her eyes. i say there would be a man who would want her. with me i told her i wouldnt get married again. i think because i will be to old, and plus with all my medcail issues i wouldnt want another to deal with it. and plus its not like i would have money to date. i would stay to myself, and just hang out with friends. and i think if something happen to my wife, it would just totally mess me up and i would be just so depress over her, i wouldnt be likey to spend much time with anyone for along time. or want too. to me there is only her. so if something would happen to you would your spouce remarried or would you remarried ?

well, actually, i did. my first wife and i separated after 6 years and on the same year of our separation, we found another partners. she found hers just within the month and i found mine after six months. we separated cause we found out that we were no longer compatible. i know she is happy with his partner now, just the way i am now with my present partner.

oh yes, we are still friends. actually, when we separated, our son lived with me until he grew old, until he went to college. he stopped college due to financial problem. and by this moment, he stays with her. i plan to get him back before the next school year starts. hopefully, there will be enough budget.

I think yes, when I'm ready for this. If something happens to me, I would like my partner to meet someone to spare his life with. I would like my kid to have a mother also. Just life must go on for those one who stays. Also I don't want to be alone when I get old. I know several couples that married at about age 70-80 just because they are lonely and they feel better together than being alone. I guess this last example is more a kind of co-existence than a real marriage...

Well for me hanging out with friends cannot replace having a partner. And family..one day kids grow up and take their own way. Of course nobody can tells how life will go on with such situation. For me - I'm sure I don't want my partner to stay alone and to regret for me. I know I will always have a special place in his heart, but he has one life to live and I'd want to live it fully. Of course, the final choice would be his. The same I think for the opposite situation - if I stay. My ex-husband used to told me that if something happen to him he doesn't want me to meet another man. When I asked why the answer was just simple jealousy. I found that rather selfish. I think that when you love someone you want him/her to be happy no matter if you're part of his/her life.

So many "and plus" Someone told me that woman can live without man but man cannot live without woman, I think what you said is not limit on spouse, she can be a woman whoever you treat as your beloved, yeah? i think if something happen to my wife, it would just totally mess me up and i would be just so depress over her, i wouldnt be likey to spend much time with anyone for along time. I'm not ready to judge it to be right or wrong, but the same feeling I used to arise just like you One of my friend told me something about relationship, he said actually no one can't live without anyone.

im a kinda of guy, i need alot of people. i dont like being around alot of people. with my wife she have shown me and taught me about real love. what it means by standing by the person who you love. even when we first dated and her brother and mother tried to break us up, but she didnt care. even knowing about my pass and my ways. so yeah i dont see me or wanting to get remarried again

People should never marry for anything but true love. There is nothing wrong with being single. With that said, let me add. Life has a way of placing you where you need to be. If learning and growing is better with another spouse, you might just find someone else regardless of how you feel about it. How does that really work you ask???? If the chemistry is high enough, you will never say no. One isn't always in control of who they fall in love with. Ah yes!!!!Isn't love grand!!!

Hey syankee! I would get married again and for sure my wife would do the same thing. We both can't stand the feeling of being alone in life and even something even of we're old, it doesn't matter. It's more like a "companionship" that you're looking at. Of course, it would take some time for you to recover and move on but I wouldn't deprive myself from this because it's legal and if you'd think you'll be happy somehow with your new partner then that's great. If there's a chance that your spouse would be able to look after you with a new partner in her next life, I would say that your spouse will be happy just seeing you happy and not depressed.

If something will happen to my wife in the future, I can't hardly say that I wont get married again. There's some finality if I said I wont get married again but it's hard to say that early for something that we don't know about yet. Only time can tell what's its' gonna be. And If I am on the situation and my wife and I will be talking about it I might be tempted to say that I will not marry again. I just want my wife to feel special and to reassure her that i will never love another woman but her.

i think if that is not beyond my limits of sustainability, i will not think to remarry. because there is no guaruntee that this thing will not happen again with the next one. but if this is normal, i will just try to solve the problem between us.

I think my husband probably would remarry actually, I can't really see him coping that well with living alone. He's not very domesticated for a start! LOL! I don't think I would. I would rather be on my own than be in a relationship again, I don't like taking risks in life and I just don't think I could cope with the whole dating thing again, falling in love and possibly losing them.

most men arent. lol. to me there is no replacing her, or anyone else who can take her place in my heart. we've been together for 26 yrs. i see what people my age goess through with dating. i would have to find someone as boring as me, i dont like bars, or clubs, or going to movies

wow, your a good husband man! tell your wife i congratulate her for having you as her partner for all crimes and happiness.. well, i cant say it yet because i am too young to die. besides i am not married yet.. just to be married soon... it depends on my age. if ever, something happened to my future wife and i am in the late 20's then of course i will. but it is hard to say if it is not happening yet. better let it to God...
